Chapter 141. Elves in the Swamp

Although the summer in the North Trumming Sea is not hot, the swamps in the Great Silver Plate Island have gradually warmed up with the arrival of summer, allowing countless microorganisms and algae to begin to bloom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a catalyst for the biological chain in the swamps, where animals that eat algae and microorganisms become food for other animals, and with the frequent fate of eating, catching and killing, the summer swamps also carry a bloody storm of inter-biological fighting.

And more than that, it is the rancid smell of the dead animals and plants, as the temperature rises, especially with the sea breeze, the entire Everglades has been enveloped in this rich rancid smell, almost suffocating.

Even the old water thieves, who have lived in this swamp for more than ten years, could not stand the smell at all, and in the past they usually dispersed, and in the strongholds on both sides of the Ketuf River, or in the relationship of the river patrol team, in the farms outside Samar City, called a lot of delicate girls, poured ale or rum, and spent a comfortable summer.

Of course, this is only the past, and now although they are unrivaled in power for a while, they have also completely severed their secret connection with Sama City, and truly extricated themselves from the situation of collusion with officials and bandits in the past.

They have really become the enemies of Samar City and Gray Mist City, and those nobles have gritted their teeth and want to completely exterminate this group of Ketufu River water thieves, especially because the longer the golden waterway of the Ketufu River is cut off, I don't know how many nobles want these water thieves to go to the gallows and hang them fiercely!

Despite the fierce struggle among the nobles, the waterway of the Ketuf River was of great importance to those of the middle and lower nobility, and most of them suffered heavy losses for a week of breaking off the connection.

This is the relationship between interests, once they had the interest of selling stolen goods with the Ketuf River water thieves, so they did not choose to completely fight this group of water thieves who looked like bed bugs in themselves, but now the bed bugs in this group of swamps have suddenly turned into deadly giant crocodiles, with bloody maws and tearing off their flesh fiercely.

So the river patrol team of Samar City is in full swing to rebuild, and even the city of Gray Mist is building a river patrol team of the Ketuv River, once the two river patrol teams are successfully formed and form combat effectiveness, this group of water thieves will not be able to jump for a few days.

Extracting the elite of the Gray Mist City Patrol Navy, forming the backbone of the river patrol team, and matching the soldiers selected by the two cities in the city defense team, for this group of water thieves composed of rabble and defectors, not only is the combat effectiveness strong, but even the logistics and heavy firepower support are particularly eye-catching, so that today's water thieves are secretly vigilant.

Because as the supreme commander of the Kertuf River bandits, the Marsh Baron has ordered the construction of the fortifications of the Everglades region, perhaps because of his distrust of the nobles, all the water thieves are now busy.

Especially on the island in the middle of the lake in the swamp, this small swamp island has been leveled, and at the same time, several layers of stone slabs have been neatly paved, and the original simple thatched huts have been completely knocked down to the lowest level, even the fortress that was previously built with stones has been rebuilt.

This was the order of the Marsh Baron, and now almost all the water thieves were entrenched on this island in the middle of the lake, and they were busy all day long and began to build the city wall that they did not understand at all, but under the guidance of a few officials who had a little research and defected from the river patrol team, the pier and several steep places in the middle of the lake were built with stone walls and wooden guard towers more than six meters high.

Although they had recently taken control of the Ketuf River, with the interruption of trade between Samar City and Grey Mist City, their business became even less than before, especially with the Marsh Baron's order to build the fortress of the island in the middle of the lake, which made this group of water thieves who were accustomed to wandering and fighting unspeakably miserable, but they did not dare to reveal much.

Carrying heavy logs on their shoulders and rattan baskets full of stones on their backs, the thieves all had painful expressions on their faces, because their shoulders and backs had been blistered with blood for several days, and even at night they would wail from the exhaustion of their whole body, only to add a few more bloody steaks to each meal.

The unpalatable steak was simply cooked in the water at random, and finally sprinkled with a handful of salt and thrown on their plates, and with the still dry and hard bacon and sausages, it was delicious to be able to eat the occasional cheese, and it can be said that their current food situation was terrible after the loss of the merchant ships on the Ketuf.

They were no longer able to go to Samar City to purchase supplies, and the already enraged Samar City nobles had blocked most of the secret contacts, even if they risked being caught and hanged to contact the previous partners, the end result was to send them away with a few silver coins.

God knows what the value of the current silver coins will be after losing their usable channels, and even the Ketuf River thieves have faintly discovered that although their reputation is much greater, the results are worse than before!

However, due to the obscenity of the swamp baron, everyone did not dare to talk about anything casually, because those who dared to resist the swamp baron had already been tied up and thrown alive into the pet pool, where there were terrifying giant crocodiles, bloodthirsty creatures that could easily tear humans into desserts.

Especially the group of water thieves who were still carrying wood and stones, looked at the center of the island in the middle of the lake, and also looked a little panicked and gloated, because over there, a dozen guys were about to feed the crocodiles.

Although they didn't know the specific situation, they also knew that a few days ago they took more than 300 water thieves to take charge of killing a group of merchants, and the final result was that more than a dozen people fled miserably, which was not much difference compared to the destruction of the entire army, how could the swamp baron who had been accumulating strength not be angry.

The dozen or so water thieves were already kneeling on the rough stone slabs in extreme fear, all with fear on their faces, trembling but not even daring to raise their heads, all of them kneeling on the ground and waiting for their miserable end.

The leader was Kit, he led the dozen or so bandit leaders to escape from Levi's temporary fortress, and when they wanted to go to Samar City or Grey Mist City to completely escape from the control of the Great Silver Plate Island and the Marsh Baron with the help of the water thieves, they found that the secret forces that the Ketuf River water thieves had been operating for more than ten years had already been uprooted.

The nobles of Grey Mist and Samar were not ignorant, and a dozen of them were almost caught by the soldiers of the city defenses, and then hanged miserably on the city walls.

Now they have no choice but to return to the Swamp, kneeling in front of the Marsh Baron, waiting for the final result in fear, but most of them are already dead, because as the leader, they led their men to be wiped out, and when they come back, there is only death.

"You mean that four dwarven cannons wiped out your entire army?"

A faint voice came from under the iron mask, the swamp baron sat on his humble stone chair, supporting his chin with his hands, he also looked at the dozen or so frightened subordinates half-lying and half-sitting, and he couldn't see his expression clearly under the black mask, but sneered and said lightly: "Then why didn't you die there together?" ”

His tone was flat, but the threat of death made Kit and the others tremble even more, because more than twenty strong guards around him had also drawn their scimitars at their waists, and they all smiled horribly.

It was a pleasant slaughter feast, and for those who had tarnished the Marsh Baron's prestige, the guards were happy to show their loyalty in front of their masters, but the Marsh Baron slowly raised his hand to stop his group of guards from moving, and instead asked with a little curiosity, "Can any of you give me a reason to live?" ”

"The swamp... Marsh Baron, my dearest master, I... I'm here to tell you the truth! ”

Kit's trembling voice was already ringing, and he was desperate and moved his knees forward almost on his knees, still not daring to raise his head and said loudly: "That's the main force of Grey Mist City, they have started the reconstruction work in the ruins of Cape Town, in order to organize another river patrol team in the Yuqiao River!" ”

As he spoke, the whole person shouted loudly as if he was in a ruined boat: "So I must survive, I have to tell my dearest master, the enemy fleet is about to appear in the Yuqiao River, and if we don't take any more action, then we, who have lost Samar City, Gray Mist City, and Baal Town, will be completely sealed in the Swamp!" ”

"You know strategy, too?"

The swamp baron under the iron mask was still half-lying and half-sitting on the stone chair, his hand supporting his chin was slowly lowered, and the thick blanket behind him was straightened, and his voice still said lightly: "But I like this reason very much, compared to ordinary stupid guys, he really deserves to be the deputy captain of the river patrol team." ”

"It's... Yes, my dear master, I am now your most faithful subordinate. ”

But a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on Nakit's face, which showed that he had survived, but he had not been excited for two seconds, and the words that the swamp baron spoke again made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Chop off his left hand, it's a punishment for him."
